Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by"prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let".your requests be made known to God~ Phil-4:6 ~

Not a few Christians live in a state of unbroken.anxiety. And others fret and fume terriblyTo be perfectly at peace amid the hurly-burly of.daily life is a secret worth knowing

?What is the use of worryingIt never made anybody strong; never helped anybodyto do God's will; never made a way of escape for.anyone out of perplexity

Worry spoils lives which would otherwise be usefuland beautiful. Restlessness, anxiety, and care areabsolutely forbidden by our Lord, who said: "Take nothought," that is, no anxious thought, "saying whatshall we eat, or what shall we drink, or wherewithalshall we be clothed?" He does not mean that we arenot to take forethought and that our life is to bewithout plan or method; but that we are not to worry.about these things

People know you live in the realm of anxious care bythe lines on your face, the tones of your voicethe minor key in your life, and the lack of joy inyour spirit. Scale the heights of a life abandoned toGod, then you will look down on the clouds beneath.your feet

It is always wrong to be fretting and worrying, questioningand mistrusting. Can we gain anything by it? Are we notunfit ourselves for action, and unhinge our minds for?wise decision

.We are sinking by our struggles when we might float by faith

!Be still and know that your Lord is GodThe Holy One of Israel can and will defend and deliverHis own. We should be sure that every word of His willstand, though heaven and earth shall pass away. He.deserves to be confided in

Return to your rest and lean your head upon the bosom of!the Lord Jesus
